[REQ] Add more targets(Convoys fleets)

Yeah, there's already a ridiculous amount of tonnage out there to be harvested. We need mods to cut down on the amount of shipping, not add more.

The convoys are actually set to realistic sail dates
The HX for instance is set to 8 days between sailing and averaged that in RL

The others have looked at sem realistic too
Not looked into the single ship sailings a great deal yet TBH or the TFs

Tis not the volume of shipping out there but the size of the damn things

Hit 13 ships in an unescorted coastal convoy the other day for 115000 tons

Being a coastal convoy they should have been all small tonnage vessels not all 9000 tonners and would have had some form of escort even a trawler

THATS where the massive tonnage comes from
Plus the game forces you to sink huge amounts to be able to make the dymanic work

If you have no map updates on you can sail for days without finding a contact
Even with on they dont show too regulary - and that can always be reduced too

Yep, but sadly we don't really have that much in the way of small coastal merchants. Once again the devs focused on modeling the large, mass-produced, transatlantic haulers.

Which wont be so bad in late 41 when the Liberty should be at sea
But in 39

Bit of luck someone will get the import process down and we can see a variation soon

I just sunk a Liberty in Nov '39 on my current patrol.
